I will do my best to describe as succinctly and clearly as possible. To begin, I use openSUSE, openoffice for documents, and [usually] kmail for email. I created a document in OOo and clicked on the 'email' button to send it to my "other" email address x...@student.qut.edu.au [backup]. I sent the file signed and encrypted. The other address has only a web interface, and as such, has no support for PGP/MIME. As expected, I see two attachments, application/pgp-encrypted "VERSION 1" file, and application/octet-stream (my encrypted .odt file). It isn't actually binary, it appeares in ASCII when downloaded and opened in text editor. I ran it through Kgpg, and also separately through gpg command line, and was disappointed that I did not recover my original .odt file.
The top portion contains email header information stuff (stuff I don't want, or care to understand). There is a signature at the very bottom, but verification fails (it is *my*own* pub/priv key pair). In the middle, above the signature, and below the email header stuff, there is an ascii-armoured portion of data. I have not yet attempted to select it all, copy, paste, decrypt, because I thought to myself, "there must be a better (read: easier) way to do this..." So, is there? I forwarded the message back to my x...@felipe1982.com address, and viewed it in kmail (which as you all know, supports cool things like pgp/mime). But it (after submitting my passphrase) will not decrypt! Is this the normal behaviour of pgp/mime. I did read a little (albeit quickly and not in detail) of rfc3156 (is this the most recent?). Any ideas, suggestions, comments appreciated. Thanks.
